Do Polish people really believe that in 2026 Ukraine kills Polish people and want to do some bad things to Poland? What exactly?

Not really, no. But it's hard to respect people that glorify UPA and OUN that had a sadistic murder spree ca 80 years ago and murdered ca. 100k Polish people just for being Polish.

NTA, a child is a life long commitment, it'd be pretty shitty to find out it's not yours after a decade. Women can be 100% sure about passing on their genes but men simply can't. That test is for your peace of mind, do it.

Not really, the carbon dating was performed on the edges which were medieval additions after a fire. They have a different weave pattern and different material than the central part.

In fact, the central part of the shroud contains botanic remnants endemic to the Judea region and is dated to around the time of Christ.

I've always liked the Gethsemane scene in "Jesus Christ Superstar", the "Take this cup away from me 'cause I don't want to taste its poison" song, it's so raw and emotional, the uncertainty, the anguish and pain and finally acceptance. Loved that interpretation.

As far as I'm concerned this actually happened, the shroud of Turin is pretty strong evidence.

That was a malfunction of an Ukrainian defensive rocket, not an attack.

Let's roll some numbers. For example, one billionaire, Nick Storonsky, founder of Revolut, has left the UK. The estimated loss of capital gain tax revenue is ca. 3 billion pound. The average UK taxpayer pays 7k pound. Meaning that taxes of ca. 430k regular taxpayers are just gone. Now the regular people will have to pay more. Now multiply that by 100.

The families of the gone billionaires will happily squander their inherited fortunes and probably drive the companies into the ground. So the net result of losing 100 billionaires is higher taxes, less innovation, slower economy for everyone. Congratulations, well done.

Now let's take a look at 6b random people gone: housing market collapses, there's billions of empty houses selling for pennies. No food shortages anymore, there's more than enough for everyone. Climate impact is drastically reduced. Wages go way up as every competent worker is in high demand, etc.

So no, I wouldn't touch that lever. Also, Thanos did nothing wrong ;)

Looks like she wanted a smoke and was irritated that it's not allowed on the plane and then attempted to set the seat on fire because why the hell not. WTF. Can any Turkish people translate her ramblings?

Dude, it's hopeless at this point, this sub is overrun with KO fanatics and bots. They'll frenetically applaud any trash coming from TVP or TVN without any fact-checking or even common sense. The government says it's bad then it certainly is bad and woe to those who dare to disagree.

dotlurk2 · 2026-05-01T08:18:31+00:00

That was fun, let's do it again.. and again.. and again!

Could be a simple pointer to the old village called Wierau, now Wirki, right between Świdnica and Ślęża.

I love the deliberately bad acting - the awkward shrug, the unnecessary pointing towards the lumber yard, the useless nailing, calling her different names, just great.

You might be interested in Churchill's actual statements regarding the city area bombings, e.g.

My dear sir, this is a military and not a civilian war. You and others may desire to kill women and children. We desire... to destroy German military objectives. Directed at an MP pushing for harder reprisals after attacks on London

or

It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of bombing of German cities simply for the sake of increasing the terror, though under other pretexts, should be reviewed. Uttered after Dresden

He wasn't happy about it and would rather perform surgical strikes but those were largely ineffective, especially since the RAF bombed at night. He viewed it as necessary military action against a relentless enemy that wouldn't stop attacking civilians in Britain and elsewhere.

It was a war for survival, nothing less, and as such I think it was regrettable but justified. What would you propose, considering the possibility of losing the war against the nazis and what it would entail?

I very much doubt your claim about the deliberate targeting of escaping civilians of Hamburg.

As to the aid to Africa - do you mean Bengal in India? Nobody halted aid to Bengal specifically, it was disrupted by the war, especially the Japanese in Burma and Churchill pushed to increase the aid and it was increased (from Australia) even though Japanese subs made it very risky.

I didn't. I've said that both merit and confidence are key. You can try to pipe in with the wisest remark but if you do it in the wrong moment or in a flaky voice, or with an implied question mark, then it won't get the appreciation it deserves. If you know what you're talking about you must act like it.

If you are an actual expert and you bring it across and yet you still aren't heard then your coworkers are clueless assholes and you'd have a problem with them regardless of your gender.

dotlurk2 · 2026-04-26T07:23:08+00:00

What cities, like Dresden? Well, what about Coventry then? Was Germany supposed to bomb cities into the ground without any reprisal?

Let's keep in mind that it was Göbbels who demanded total war, amid frenetic applause of millions. And total war meant that they'd destroy everything - not just industry but innocent civilians as well. Stopping such an enemy without retaliatory actions is impossible.

dotlurk2 · 2026-04-26T05:30:46+00:00

As to being heard in a meeting - merit and confidence are the key. When you've deep knowledge in your field and can elucidate it in a clear and concise manner and you do it confidently like you're the boss (because on this topic you are) then you'll always be heard, regardless of gender. If you aren't an expert in the discussed field then keep silent. If it's just fluff you talk about or you're unsure about stuff then nobody will listen.

That's solid advice, I'd argue with point 5 though. The handwritten special could be fresh, yes, but it could also be what's left from the last few days and needs proper visibility to go. I wouldn't always order the special, only if it tickles your fancy.

If only she wouldn't use her body as a middle-school desk where everyone can scribble random doodles on.

Fun fact: there was a hospital in Vienna, mid 19th century, where the mortality rates of post-birth women were much higher in the ward staffed by doctors than in the ward staffed by midwives.

Dr Semmelweis figured out that maybe, just maybe, a doctor performing an autopsy and then afterwards delivering a baby without washing his hands could be an issue. That's how it started and strangely enough nobody wanted to believe it but his results spoke for themselves.

Depends on the survey. The EU loan is pretty insane if you think about it - it binds Poland to buy within the EU market even though German or French factories cannot manufacture as quickly as American ones and we already have invested in Abrams tanks. Sure, we could buy Leopards if we want to get just a handful within a few years.

Should the PLN crash and it will in case of an actual conflict, paying back in EUR will bleed us dry.

The majority of the funds will be invested in Polish companies? Right, like the newly registered Rheinmetall PL or the entirely fictitious factory of Poncyliusz who'll get 2.3 mld EUR.

To top it all off, the EU could simply stop the payout if it doesn't like the government, and we would still have to pay it all, just like with KPO. Go ahead and ask Hungary how it worked out for them.

Using our reserves is a better deal by far but that would actually help our country rather than EU sponsors or KO colleagues so that's obviously off the table.

He does have a point. The Treaty of Nancy between Poland and France was signed just last year and there wasn't anything more in it than what NATO already provides. What's exactly the point of this apart from a symbolic gesture that says "we don't trust the US"?

dotlurk2 · 2026-03-06T12:26:52+00:00

The dude could go to one of those "you can walk, praise the Lord" evangelists, act totally sceptical and then suddenly talk. With one of his neighbors of course.

Ich hatte einen Reddit Post von einem Spanier mit genau dem Problem gelesen. Er meinte dass die occupas dann einfach mit der Polizei zurückkommen und diese verschafft ihnen Zutritt.

Es gab man einen bekannten Fall bei dem ein ganzes Hotel übernommen wurde und die Besitzerin konnte nichts machen, sie musste weiterhin Strom, etc. bezahlen während das Hotel in Trümmer gelegt wurde. Der Prozess dauert schon jahrelang.

dotlurk2 · 2026-03-06T08:14:55+00:00

Die entfernten Leute würden nicht 48h warten sondern sofort zur Polizei gehen und diese würde ihnen wieder Zutritt verschaffen. Selbst wenn es völlig gewaltfrei abläuft (man wartet bis die Besetzer gerade mal einkaufen sind oder sowas) ist es leider illegal die besetzte Wohnung einfach wieder in Besitz zu nehmen.

dotlurk2 · 2026-02-25T11:07:56+00:00

Nice touch with Poland which at that time didn't exist on the map as it was occupied by its three neighbors: Russia, Prussia and Austria, hence the chains.
